Plants are subjected to a plethora of environmental cues that cause extreme losses to crop
productivity. Due to fluctuating environmental conditions, plants encounter difficulties in …

Plants constantly monitor and cope with the fluctuating environment while hosting a diversity
of plant‐inhabiting microbes. The mode and outcome of plant–microbe interactions …

Major strides have been made over the past decade in elucidating the mechanisms that
mediate shade-avoidance responses. The canonical PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING …

When exposed to changes in the light environment caused by neighboring vegetation,
shade-avoiding plants modify their growth and/or developmental patterns to access more …

Light spectral composition influences plant growth and metabolism, and has important
consequences for interactions with plant-feeding arthropods and their natural enemies. In …

Context With the increasing global food and oil security problems, improvement in rapeseed
(Brassica napus L.) yield become urgent. Moreover, previous studies rarely used the semi …

As sessile organisms, plants are unable to move or escape from their neighboring
competitors under high-density planting conditions. Instead, they have evolved the ability to …

The phenotype of an individual can be affected by the genes of its conspecifics through
indirect genetic effects (IGEs). IGEs have been studied across different organisms including …

Salicylic acid (SA) plays a crucial role in plant immunity. However, its function in plant
development is poorly understood. The quiescent center (QC), which maintains columella …
